Sitka Spruce top, Rosewood back & sides - gloss lacquer finish

Sitka Spruce top, Rosewood back & sides - gloss lacquer finish

The pinnacle of Taylor's rosewood/spruce offerings is the 914ce, a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric whose sonic complexity and richness are matched by its beautiful presentation and detailing. All-solid rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top serve up a stunning balance of warmth and clarity, featuring low-end presence, chime-like trebles and a slightly scooped midrange that opens up space for vocals and other instruments. V-Class bracing helps push out more volume and sustain, and the built-in ebony armrest offers a more comfortable feel for your strumming/picking arm. Refined appointments include ebony binding, an Ascension inlay scheme in paua and pearl, and a paua rosette. It ships with ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.

FEATURES

Grand Auditorium

Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Indian Rosewood

The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.

Sitka Spruce

The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Expression System® 2

The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Venetian Cutaway

The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.

V-Class Bracing

Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
